3-day weekend and long flights over the Atlantic

The big US holiday weekend is nearly upon us - a 3-day weekend for those of us lucky enough to have a job that awards it, even better if it's paid time off - something US companies are not required to do. Insert a long rant here that I decided was too cumbersome to publish on this here internet station.

In other news, I just booked my third trip to Italy in less than 9 weeks. I'm working on getting a bike over there, but the guy I met from Maine who offered to install S&S couplers for me dropped off the face of the earth. IbikeItaly.com may never bear fruit for this cyclist wannabe. Anyone?
